Library adding native grasses


Did you see our meadow? For a few weeks, we allowed the grass on the west hill of the library to grow tall, as we explore adding native grasses to our landscape. It is our intention to reduce the areas to be mowed around the library where possible, so that wildflowers and native grasses can grow. Recently, an expert from the Suffolk County Soil and Water Conservation District conducted a field visit and is advising us on how to proceed. Today our "meadow" was mowed, but don't worry: it'll be back better than every next year!
